Robert Frost wrote in Mending Wall that "something there is that doesn't love a wall". A corollary might be "something about an ocean makes people stare into it". A walk along the shoreline at Wingaersheek Beach gave me the opportunity to witness many people with this "affliction", myself included.
I mistakenly thought that "Wingaersheek", like so many other names of locations in New England was Native American in origin. Yet, the United States Geological Survey describes "Wingaersheek" in this manner on its GNIS website.
Name described by Professor Trumbull as "not Indian" but stated by Professor E. N. Horsford to be "an undoubted corruption of the German (Low Dutch) name, "Wyngaerts Hoeck", which occurs on many maps between 1630 and 1670, especially in Ogilby's "America." Wyngaert's Hoeck was derived from Wyngaerton (Vineland) (BGN Files). Also called Coffins Beach for Peter Coffin whose farm was located alongside this beach (MGB 1932).
Regardless of its derivation, we are surely blessed by its beauty. I've shown my images today in two ways. The first image of each is the digital capture. The second is a "painting render" of the same image.
Be sure to click on each pair of images to see the larger versions.
First two images are called "Family At Play".
These two are called "Soul Searching".
These last two are called "Squam Light".

Those are very interesting shots to give such a faithful image when rendered as a "painting."
When I first looked at the two images, one above the other, I couldn't see a difference between them. It was only when I double-clicked on each that I could tell the painting from the photo.
Thanks for posting them.

Those paintings were produced by a computer program and are not actual 'paintings'. Anyone can render such paintings with approximately three clicks, two of them for importing the photo to the program of choice.
